4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change adds the project code data element to the 

DLMS 846R Location Reconciliation Request transaction to provide stratification of inventory

during reconciliation for Program Manager (PM)-owned stock maintained at DLA DSS Unit 

Materiel Fielding Points (UMFP) and Global Combat Support System (GCSS) Army (Fielding 

Site) TPF locations. This change is primarily for intra-Army use and for third party vendors who 

do business with the Army. Army LMP does not expect DLA to implement at this time. The 

expectation is for DLA to make these changes in the future, but Army and DLA have not yet 

planned that work. The project code data element in the 846R will be an authorized DLMS 

enhancement for everyone.

b. Background:

(1) The Army Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) is currently using DLMS 

846R/legacy Document Identifier Code (DIC) DZH for End of Day reconciliation of inventory 

transactions between LMP as the inventory control point, DLA Distribution Standard System 

(DSS) and GCSS-Army as the storage locations. These existing DLMS 846R/legacy DIC DZH 

transactions do not carry the project code while the storage location maintains the associated 

inventory in its systems without a project code. This is the key differentiator for storage and 

shipment of materiel at the Unit level under Army TPF, as described in References 3.a. and 3.b.. 

(2) This change is primarily to facilitate End of Day transactions for PM-owned 

stock maintained at DLA DSS UMFP and GCSS Army (Fielding Site) TPF locations as well as 

other PM-owned stocks stratified by project code and maintained by third party managed TPF 

sites and in trading partner systems. Select vendors are programming these third party trading 

partner systems, which are homegrown, non-government systems, to communicate through 

Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) with Army LMP.

c. Approved Change in Detail: Add Qualifier Code 78 at 2/LQ01/376 in the DLMS 

846R. DLMS implementation of this change will enable LMP to maintain, identify, and 

reconcile Project-Coded stock with the third party systems managing the TPF sites.

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: None

e. Approved Transaction Flow: There are no changes to the transaction flow.

f. Alternatives: The third party sites can download and send the inventory 

reconciliation files to LMP that will upload data to ERP Central Component through a utility to 

synchronize the LMP inventory. 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: This change is required to support accountability of stock 

stratified by project code maintained at other storage locations and in trading partner systems.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: The provision of industry Code Qualifier 78 in segment LQ at 

2/LQ01/376 can help maintain, identify, and reconcile the stock stratified to a project code at 

LMP with third party systems, making available an accurate accounting of program owned 

inventory along with inventory value.

b. Disadvantages: LMP would not be able to identify the inventory by project code.

7. ASSUMPTIONS USED OR WILL BE USED IN THE CHANGE OR NEW 

DEVELOPMENT: This change is simple in nature and could be accomplished in a short 

period. After approval, Army should conduct testing with DAAS and in a test environment 

within a few months with sufficient coordination between LMP and DAAS. There is no 

expectation for testing with DLA at this time. 

8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO CONSIDER: None

9. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: None

10. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: October 2018 (upon 

approval)

11. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: Not Applicable

12. IMPACT: 

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None.

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: Add existing industry code qualifier 78 (Project 

Code) to DLMS IC 846R at 2/LQ01/376

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS): Update Army and DLA systems to allow 

the usage of project code in the 846R, when appropriate.

d. Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS): Update DAAS maps and pass 

project code data in DLMS 846R IC transactions.

e. Non-DLM 4000.25 Series Publications: None.
